New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39059

Received: 19/09/2021

Respondent: Sarah Ellis

Representation Summary:

None of the plots of land suggested for Stambridge should be used for either housing or commercial properties. Building additional housing would increase the demand on drains and water run-off into loccal rivers, increasing the risk of flooding

Plot CFS141 could be used to increase woodland in the village. It would provide multiple benefits such as wildlife habitats, store carbon to help support climate change and soak up water in its roots to reduce the risk/impact of flooding. Bridal paths and public footpaths could be added to encourage more residents to exercise and enjoy outdoor spaces
